>Lenin - Imperialism, the highest stage of capitalism

>A collection of Takiguchi Yasuhiko's novellas
>Plato - The Sophist: Bilingual edition (Ancient Greek - Hungarian)
>Spinoza - Ethics

I didn't spend a dime on any of them, except for the Chinese collection. I was surprised to see the Plato and the Spinoza book labelled for termination. I guess it's reasonable for the Plato one, since it was printed in 1908
The Lenin pamphlet is quite interesting
I think I did well.

This was my recent purchase.

Jean-Jacques Rousseau - Emile (currently reading)
Alexis de Tocqueville - Democracy in America
Alexander Hamilton - The Federalist Papers

All are very unbelievably long. But they look interesting as well.

Next up is pic related, probably am going to purchase it before like next week, BOOKS > RENT

I'm reading Remarque right now, I hope you enjoy it. I went into it blind, just like I went into Junger blind, and so far it's seemed painful like Junger, but less harsh and more coming in pangs of emotional distress, fear, etc.

Nice. It's a good read. I got that same copy, but it wasn't very good. The printer must've had some problems because sometimes a few letters would be missing from a word.

>The Orthodox Study Bible
Is it worth buying? Does it have a good format?
How much commentary is in it?

Irving forged a lot of documents, is an adamant holocaust denier and has been imprisoned in Switzerland because of it. Decredited and a laughing stock of most serious academics dealing with WW2. His arguments have been refuted and proven inaccurate in a number of academic articles.
stopped reading a book once because he quoted Irving
